FIG. 15: Never service, check or adjust the drive chains
or belts while the tractor engine is running.
FIG. 16: Do not operate the machine with the drive
shafts shields open or removed. Entanglement in rotating
drive shafts can cause serious injury or death.
Stay clear of rotating components.
Never start the tractor with the PTO engaged.
Make sure rotating guards turn freely.
A loose yoke can slip off the tractor PTO shaft and result
in injury to persons or damage to the machine.
When installing a quick disconnect yoke, the spring
activated locking pins must slide freely and be seated in
the groove on the PTO shaft.
Pull on the implement driveline to make sure the quick
disconnect yoke cannot be pulled off the PTO shaft.
Fire Prevention and First Aid
FIG. 17: Be prepared for emergencies.
Keep a first aid kit handy for treatment of minor cuts and
scratches.
Always carry one or more fire extinguishers of the correct
type. Check fire extinguishers regularly as instructed by
the manufacturer. Make sure fire extinguishers are
properly charged and in operating condition.
Due to the nature of the crops this machine will operate in,
the risk of fire is of concern. Use a water type fire
extinguisher or other water source for a fire in crop.
For fires involving anything other than crop, such as oil or
electrical
components,
extinguisher with an ABC rating.
Mount fire extinguishers within easy reach of where fires
can occur.
Frequently remove accumulated crop material from the
machine and check for overheated components. Check
the machine daily for any noises that are not normal.
Such noises could indicate a failed component that can
cause excess heat.
